Loyalty to the Queen Is often much more IN
tense in the English colonies than in Enslahd
itself. In New South Wales, for instance. man
who refuses to join in loyal toast or who ap-
proves tie conduct of any one so refusing, "shall
be deemed guilty Of misdemeanOr and snail be
imprisoned with or without hard labor for period
not exceeding two years" ID would appear from
this that New South Wales is q very poor country

Probably il would be an injustice TO compel the
elevated railway companies TO provide all tnelr
cars with side doors. Such doors would expedite

cars. TO procure some with this improvement. IN
order to sec how ii works. On the Bridge SIDE
doors are a great advantage; but the conditions
there are different all the passengers being taken

A recent Issue of The Richmond Va) State con-
tains a long and ponderous leader entitled "A
Mission for tn Colored Race" The mission which
Is commended 20 the colored race is for them to
leave the Republican party and submit to the en-
brace of the Democracy. This is no new scheme.
II will be remembered that the wolf once suggested
a mission for the sheep. He endeavored TO con-
vince the sheep that 1t would greatly inure TO their
benefit to leave the fold to which they had been
accustomed and cast in their lot with the wolves.
The sheep informed tho beast who was trying to
organize the mission that they were obliged for his
offer, but declined it because of a strong impress
sion that its acceptance would operate as for
fixture of their life insurance policies.

In Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the most complicated and won-
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done q wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for 6
bottle. Seventy-fve cents.

The following resolution was
passed:
Resolced, That this convention re-
spectfully calls the attention OF con-
gress to the fact that by reason of
the condition OF the bar at the mouth
of the Columbia river. nine tenths OF
the foreign exports from the region
drained by the Columbia and its trib-
utaries are carried under foreign
flags, to the detriment of the Ameri
can shipbuilding industry and the
serious hampering OF the. develop
ment of this region, and this can
largely be remedied by completing
the works now in progress for deep
ening the entrance to the river. as
the foreign vessels are OF light
draft, while the American vessels, on
account OF their greater draft, being
usually In excess OF % feet, are yir
tually prohibited from entering the
river, thus IMPOSING a direct tax on
the half million tons of grain now
ready for shipment ont OF said river,
as by reason of the said conditions
the cost of freight and insurance are
largely increased.

Section 2, of ordinance 212. says
there shall be an election annually
on the second Monday in August for
chief engineer of the Astoria fire de-
partment and two assistants, and that
the election shall be called by a news
paper notice ten days beforehand.
This year the prescribed notice was
not given, which, it is thought,
would invalidste the election, were
any held next Monday, the 8th, the
day set by the ordinance. As the
present incumbent will, doubtless. be
reelected anyhow, the omission will
not be likely to occasion any trouble
except as to. the matter of electine
first and second assistants, should
different candidates from those now
occupying those positions be chosen
and even in that case, the matter car
be very easily and harmoniously ad'
iusted.

Mysterious1y Disappears.
A telegram from Bowling Green, KY,
relates a somewhat remarkable ghost
story. Three miles west of Bowling
Green, in a roomy old brick mansion,
lives DR.. John Williams an old pioneer
and very worthy gentleman. His family
consists of his wife and three grandsons,
/ one of whom is about seventeen wears
( old. Until three or four nights ago
nothing unusual has ever married the
serenity of the doctors home life Then
it became apparent that something was
wrong. The doctors attention was
attracted by a noise at his smoke house.
BOmbardment was opened on his
house, several panes of glass being
knocked out with clubs or rocks Then
the door leading into his room suddenly
opened, though securely locked, and
man to all appearances entered, but in
another instant as mysteriously disap-
peared The next night the visitor again
called, his movements being equally
vague. The next morning $500, which
had been secreted about the premises,
was missing. Then the neighborhood
became alarmed. The next night four
uucu IcsliluS DIT tLe NIIldSe, john 1uOuldS
and William Taggard among the number,
armed themselves and volunteered to act
as guard. Some time during the night
the visitor gained entrance, when the
oldest grandson opened fire on him with
a revolver from closet in which he was
secreted. The fire was promptly returned
in kind, several shots being exchanged.
At this juncture the guards rushed in,
but the stranger had disappeared up the
stairs and was distinctly heard entering
a room overhead. His pursuers were
close on his heels. They gained the
room, but found no one in it. 1t was i'm
possible for human being to have hid
den in it SO as to have eluded capture or
to have escaped from it but all the same,
there was no one to be found No one
apparently doubted his presence. For
that matter, the grandson who engaged
in the bout with him lay down stairs
with an ugly bullet hole in his thigh as a
result.-Indianapo1ss Special.
